Is it that TERB is tired of Representative Bachman, that she isn't as much "fun" as Governor Palin, that we agree her poll numbers are falling like a stone or what?

However, I find it pecular that no one else has mentioned her rant last night about the Texas HPV (Gardasill) Vacination Program

I do love the Americans. Where they cheer the death of their fellows!

Beautiful isn't it?

Brings a tear to my eye. Truly it does!

That's the teabaggers for ya.

Before they feared death panels, now they embrace them...

Because it showed how bat shit crazy she was!

Bachmann would rather have the young take their chances being exposed to cancer than have this life saving vaccine. She really looked like an arse on that!...

Ah, I was just waiting for the first post like this:

The Conference Board of Canada says income inequality has since the mid-1990s risen more rapidly in Canada than the U.S.A.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repo...lity-rising-quickly-in-canada/article2163938/

Now I even feel more justified in voting for the NDP.

I just looked at your article. Yes, it has risen more rapidly in that particular 10 year period, but income inequality in the US is STILL HIGHER according to the article you cite.

This is the point you referenced:

The Conference Board uses a measure of income inequality called the Gini index. It calculates how the distribution of income deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Gini index of 0 means that every person in the society has the same amount of income while 1 would show that one person has all the income.

A country with low inequality has a Gini index of 0.3 or less while those above 0.4 point to a high-disparity country. Canada’s Gini index hit 0.320 in the late 2000s from 0.293 in the mid-1990s. During the same period, the United States’ Gini index rose to 0.378 from 0.361.

It depends upon what you ask.

Your statement is I believe true if you mean people believe medical care should be more affordable and everyone should be covered.

It most definately is not true if it means most people like the "Obamacare" legislation they do not.

Nor is it true if by it you mean that most people want a single payer healthcare system.

It always depends on what you ask.

But in polls taken not in the "heat of battle" many show that Americans favour "universal" health care by 2-1 over the current system. This is an issue (and not the only one) that is being carefully manipulated so that many Americans vote against interest on it.

Let's include Governor Perry's claim, and the Tea Party as well, that Obama 'created' no jobs. How many more jobs would have disappeared if the money had not been injected. Some figure are put forward of 1.5 to 3 million jobs. Tell me how loud the Republican would have howled, if that had happened.

Perry is DOA!!!

Texas ranks first with the highest 'infant mortality rate' in the USA!....:Eek:

Woody, i wouldnt give Perry credit for being altruistic regarding this vaccine, after all the drug company that produced the vaccine was bankrolling his campaigns..

 

[Aardvark154]

$5,000 of a $30,000,000 campaign is bankrolling. What kind of math is that?

Fuzzy GOP math of course!
bottie excels in it, having taken in in business school....:eyebrows:

While he said $5,000 I think the number turned out to be higher and IIRC correctly one of his key people came from that organization.

New Teabagger family values.....

It did as only one payment was $5,000 over a short period of time, it amounted to $30,000 and nothing has been totaled up by the SuperPac that Toomey runs that has raised $55 million Hmmmmm.

http://www.texastribune.org/texas-p...another-super-pac-run-close-perry-associates/
Gov. Rick Perry's former legislative director has a Super PAC to support Perry's run for president, and now there's another such PAC — headed by Perry's former chief of staff, Mike Toomey.
The PAC — "Make Us Great Again" — is backed by Toomey, who's now an Austin lobbyist, and Brint Ryan, head of the Dallas accounting firm Ryan & Co. Ryan is a financial supporter of Perry and other top Republicans in Texas. Super PACs can raise and spend unlimited amounts but must remain independent of any campaigns — they cannot legally coordinate their activities.
Last week, former legislator and Perry aide Dan Shelley announced two political action committees geared to helping the governor win the support of veterans.
In an email sent this morning, Toomey and Ryan urge potential supporters to ignore other independent efforts for Perry in favor of the new organization.
Neither Toomey nor Ryan were immediately available for comment. The committee filedorganization papers at the end of July with the Federal Election Commission. The treasurer is Paul Kilgore, a former aide to Newt Gingrich, among others, who now runs a Washington, D.C.-based campaign finance firm called PDS Compliance. In its filing, the PAC says it was not formed solely to support one candidate.http://www.texastribune.org/texas-p...another-super-pac-run-close-perry-associates/

You may wanna do some more digging on good ol' boy Perry and his Merck friends. If you hadn't heard, there's a lot more than just $5,000+Perry+Merck,.
That's the superficial bit that he wants parrots like you to repeat in his defense. lol

Personaly I'd volunteer to drag every 11-year-old in the nation by the ear to the vacination clinic!

This was never an issue in the 50s & 60s.
Back then school children were lined up by the millions getting their vaccinations right in the schools with no problems....but back then the GOP was run by more rational folks, not obstructionist anti-science arseholes like today....:eyebrows:

That's true.

Somewhere along the line the GOP morphed from the party of Eisenhower into the party of Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachman and George W Bush.

Bush Sr. wasn't an idiot, Reagan was a dummy, but he didn't allow himself to be manipulated by the wingnuts.

Where the hell did they go wrong?

 

[WoodPeckr]

They went wrong when they let El Rushbloe become the Boss of the GOP!

GOPers today DON'T have the stones to put these right-wingnuts back in their lockbox!...:eyebrows:
